Do you have a hand that seems to be your "hex hand?"

mine is q-j suited, never hit the flush, and awlays overpair frustrating

8-8, i have limped in many times with this hand (cash games) caught a few sets even a full house and still lost.

I love it when im raised on these so i can dump them.

72o

KK, busted me out of 3 of my last 5 tourneys (see thread above) by Q9, 99 and AA (least they're getting better) and I now officially hate cowboys

AA
Nothing worse then having to go all-in pre-flop with AA and getting busted by small trips.

I always seem to get A8s in the big blind and go decent with it i have also seen it many times when stumbling out of a tourney, it's a love/hate relationship.

Mine is JJ, I overplay them terribly, but I'm learning not to !

Give me AA every time, I dont mind.
As for a hex hand, i hate AT or AJ, they always seem to miss, the times they do hit the Ace, someone normally has AK, AQ.

JJ kills me both ways. No matter how I play it, I really can't remember the last time I won with it at the river nor the last time I won against it.

treat JJ as a pair of eights, if it hits' then it's all good, if it misses and there's overcards then prepare to fold................

No, it should be easy... just hit the fold button.:joyman:

New hex hand:

KK

I have never won a hand with pocket Ks unless I bet enough to make everyone fold (which is what I try to do after I make a big-raise pre-flop then follow up post-flop with an all-in or so)

AQ is the devil.

My bad beat woe is now so great my new hex hand has improved from KK to AA, last one being beaten by a reraised all-in 10,7 off hitting quads sevens (see other thread). I love poker....

I hate A 10 of hearts. Im cool with any other combo of A 10 but bad things seem to happen to me when they are hearts

J, 10. I never win with it and everyone falls in love with it. Theycall, raise and go all in with it. It's the most overrated hand in Hold em.

I got me a straight flush with J10 earlier

Whenever I get Queens, someone else has aces. Whenever my opponent has Queens, he gets quads. True story.

JJ is my hex hand. In 4000 hands played, I have lost 44 dollars with JJ playing 10max and 25max. I have lost more with JJ than any other hand in that 4000 hand stretch.

10s.... I hate pocket 10s. Its not that I play them wrong, I just have BAD luck. I run into Jacks, Aces, 2 overs that always hit, or if I'm ahead I get the suck out.

Any and every hand is evil and awful.
